Huge Bert Cooper fan too, ever since he destroyed Willie De Witt. Wish he´d stayed as a cruiser, would´ve been champion. Gutted when he died....
I agree that Shavers´ right (especially the uppercut that took out Jimmy Ellis and Norton) hand bombs are arguably the strongest single punch in...

Zora Folley looked completely shot in getting outpointed by Brian London.. That was 7 fights and 3 years before facing Mac Foster. Brian London...
Bert Cooper managed to win the WBF belt. By all accounts, Bert was heard saying "finally won the Heavyweight belt" on leaving the arena. Felt...
